Feilding advocate to be etched into Timona Park history

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Feilding-Rangitīkei Herald

Hey neighbours,

The late Gill Absolon was the driving force behind the Timona Park Orchard Trust in Feilding and mastermind behind the transformation of the park's wetland and bush area. Her vision turned an overrun wasteland at the public park into a small forest of fruit trees for everyone to enjoy. Later, it became an outdoor education centre.
Who's been enjoying the fruits of her labour this summer?
